Catherine's POV
Hearing what Blake said, I immediately felt that he was right, and I might have been a little too hasty. I
shouldn't have gotten angry.
"OK. Then go ahead and drive." I stopped struggling and sat back in my seat. I wanted to know how he
would confront Emily.
Blake nodded and started the car.
After the car arrived at the headquarters, Blake held my hand and stepped into the hall.
I awkwardly followed by his side, lowering my eyes and not looking at the countless surprised gazes.
Although I was getting more and more accustomed to being held by him and being looked at, his
feelings for me still made me panic and at a loss.
The elevator reached the floor. We passed through the bright, long corridor and arrived at Blake's
private lounge.
As soon as Blake and I came in, Henry hurried over to report, "King Blake, Emily is downstairs. She
said you asked her to come over."
Blake glanced at my face and said to Henry, "Send her up and bring her here."
After Henry left, Blake pointed to his lounge and said to me, "Go inside and have some rest. I won't
close the door."
I turned around and walked towards the lounge. Halfway there, I stopped and looked at Blake's face for
two seconds before continuing to walk in.
A few minutes later, I heard Emily walk in.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Blake, did you call me here for something? Or did you miss me?" Emily walked in and asked with a
casual smile, looking effeminate.
Blake asked coldly, "Did you go to Catherine? Who said you could do that?"
"Blake, don't get me wrong. I just want to meet her and know what she looks like. I mean no harm!"
Emily immediately explained with a tinge of coquettish tone. "Are you mad?"
Blake sneered, "You saw her. What did you say to her?"
"Nothing important. I was just curious. I thought she was beautiful at first. After seeing her, I realized
that I was wrong. Blake, where was your good taste? She wasn't gorgeous at all. She was so plain."
I heard her words in the lounge, and I sneered silently.
Emily came here to see Blake. Because of the timing, I didn't think she knew that Blake and I already
had two kids.
Perhaps she felt that as long as she made me sound ordinary, Blake might realize that I had nothing
worth being infatuated with.
Well, I was plain. I admitted.
However, hearing someone saying that behind my back still upset me.
"Catherine might not be a great beauty, but she is my type. I hope you won't judge her in such a
conventional way when you see her," Blake said faintly.
Emily said, "Blake, did you call me here just to discuss whether she is beautiful or not? I don't want to
waste our time on her. It's rare for me to see you. We..."
"What did you say to her?" Blake directly interrupted her, his voice somewhat harsh.
"Blake, why do you keep asking me this? Did she say something to you? She tells on me so soon.
She's so lucky to have you to back her up. She can come to you at once whenever she feels
aggrieved," Emily said immediately.
"Did you say to her that we slept together?" Blake's voice was cold.
Emily sounded sad. She said, "I didn't expect you to be angry because of this. I already said that I had
no other intentions. I just wanted to tell her that you and I were happy together. I hope she can give you
back to me..."
"That's enough!" Blake shouted angrily. "How dare you talk about things that never happened? Emily,
you're becoming more and more like my uncle. You have no boundaries. What do you think I am? A
commodity that can be traded? Give me back to you? Do you think that will make me yours?"
"Blake, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I shouldn't have said such things. Don't be angry, OK?" Emily cried.
"Do you know why I put up with you? Because you are kind of kind to my grandparents. But I only have
limited patience. If you try to ruin my life again, I won't show any mercy. You'll end up the same as my
uncle." Blake warned her, his voice as cold as ice.
"Blake, are you really going to be so cold and heartless to me? You know that I love you and have
always loved you, but you avoided me for the past five years. It's like I never appeared in your life.
Have you forgotten? You used to hold me in your arms and take my hands. You cried, begging me not
to leave. Did you have any feelings for me back then? You got rid of the darkness and abandoned me.
What you don't know is that your dependence on me has become affections, which are engraved in my
soul. I can't forget about you whatsoever." Emily's words were full of sadness, telling Blake the torture
she had suffered for these five years.
Emily admitted that she had lied, and she also told Blake how she felt about him bluntly, which
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsurprised me.
I, who had been hiding inside, walked out.
Emily's expression changed when she saw me.
She pointed to me and said, "Blake, why is she here?"
When Blake saw me, he looked somehow worried. He walked toward me and grabbed my wrist.
"Cathy, are you leaving?"
"Emily, why did you lie to me?" I asked as I stared at Emily.
Emily's face was deathly pale, and her expression was filled with resentment. "Didn't I say it just now? I
hope you can give me back the man I love. I ... I'm begging you..."
"Shut up!" Blake glared at her fiercely.
Emily raised her chin slightly with an unyielding look on her face.
She stared at me without blinking, waiting for my answer.
I had complicated feelings and was overwhelmed. My mind was a mess.
I never expected such a dramatic scene. I was actually fighting with a woman for Blake.
I always thought I was too proud to face a scene like this, because I would turn around without
hesitation.
I would leave them with my back decisively, and then I would quietly disappear from their lives.
But right now, I could not move at all. Something inside me told me not to go.
I wouldn't go.
I wanted this man, too.
"It's no use begging me. I won't let my kids lose their father. Besides, Blake can decide for himself. I'm
not in the position to decide anything on behalf of him." After I finished speaking, I gently pulled my
hand out of Blake's large palm. Then I said lightly, "I'm taking off now."
